FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does therapy take?
The length of the counselling cycle, from start to finish, is dependent on many factors. Therapy can be short -term (10-12 session) or long term based on the client’s individual needs and severity of symptoms.
How long will appointments last?
In the past (prior to 2013), the typical therapy “hour” was 50 minutes. Insurance regulations have since changed to 45 minutes as the standard for the general client who experiences mild to moderate mental health symptoms without complex needs.
How often are sessions?
Weekly visits for the first 3 months is highly recommended and can be reassessed at that time. Some clients with more complex or severe symptoms may benefit from a higher frequency.
How long will it take for me to feel better?
Progress is directly related to your level of commitment to doing the work outside of the counselling office.
How much does this cost?
The cost for therapy depends upon your payment method. Our full private pay fee for therapy services is $150 per 45 minute session. If using insurance, your insurance offers you a discounted rate from our full private pay fee for therapy services. Your insurance benefits will determine how much you will owe for your therapy sessions, based on the rates the insurance has set and your specific benefits. Some insurances will cover therapy services 100% (Medical Assistance for example), and other plans will come with a co-pay, deductible, and/or co-insurance that clients will owe for therapy services.
How would I benefit?
Early detection of opportunities in the area of development and intervention best practices benefits the client and allows then live a full and fulfilling life.
Should I be ashamed?
Absolutely not! In the past ten years, psychotherapy has become normalized. In fact, the Covid-19 Pandemic resulted in an unprecedented number of people seeking out one form of therapy or another including but not limited to faith based, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, etc. to learn how to cope with after effects of Covid including but not limited to grief, loss, anxiety, substance use, domestic violence etc. the changes that resulted.
Culture plays a role in how one views therapy. Historically, some cultures attach sign of personal and/or spiritual weakness. However, more cultures are coming into the understanding that mental health is organic in nature, just as medical conditions.
